      • Wow, the Portuguese played dirty, but the Dutch were utter *******s (which does correspond to the other game of them I saw, against Ivory Coast)

        I'm very happy that the Dutch will now stop disgracing the World Cup

              • I vote for handing players axes next time. It will be similarly bloody but much quicker over.

                The referee was ok. He didn't have much leverage in this foul-fest.

                Both teams should be sent home. This is not football.

                • I would have liked to see the Dutch go forth. They tried, really tried. Then everyone went berserk including the ref. /

                      • Its funny how many are blaming the ref when it was the players who were out of control.

                        • The ref lost control of the match. Its fair to blame him.

                          Man, one of the chippiest games I have ever seen! Almost wished both could lose.

                          • I wanted extra time, in order to get extra cards and a penalty shoot out where neither side had anyone to take the 5th penalty.

                            Would have helped England even more in the Q/finals if they had.

                              • Good baseball announcing isn't anything like good soccer or football announcing. I thought he was a very poor soccer announcer, but the way he went about it would have been great for a baseball game.
